Surah Az-Zukhruf for kids content

THE TRUTH ABOUT 'ISA

63When 'Isa came with clear proofs he declared, “I have come to you with wisdom and to clarify to you some of what you differ about.

So keep Allah in mind and obey me.

64Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him 'alone'.

This is the Straight Path.

"

65Yet their 'many' groups have differed among themselves about him'.

So it will be horrible for those who do wrong when they face the punishment of a painful Day!

66Are they just waiting for the Hour 'of Judgment' to take them by surprise when they do not expect it 'at all'?

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَىٰ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالَ قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي تَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ63

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ64

فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمٍ أَلِيمٍ65

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ66

REWARD OF THE FAITHFUL

67Close friends will be enemies to each other on that Day, except the faithful,

68'who will be told,' “O My servants!

There is no fear for you Today, and you will not be sad—

69'those' who believed in Our signs and 'fully' submitted 'to Us'.

70Enter Jannah, you and your spouses,' to enjoy happily.

"

71Gold trays and cups will be passed around to them.

There will be whatever the souls desire and the eyes enjoy.

And you will be there forever.

72This is Jannah, which you will be rewarded for what you used to do.

73There you will have lots of fruit to eat from.

ٱلۡأَخِلَّآءُ يَوۡمَئِذِۢ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ67

يَٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ68

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ69

ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ أَنتُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجُكُمۡ تُحۡبَرُونَ70

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِصِحَافٖ مِّن ذَهَبٖ وَأَكۡوَابٖۖ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشۡتَهِيهِ ٱلۡأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنُۖ وَأَنتُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ71

وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ72

لَكُمۡ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ كَثِيرَةٞ مِّنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ73

PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED

74Surely the wicked will be in the punishment of Jahannam forever.

75It will never be eased for them, and there they will lose all hope.

76We did not wrong them, but it was they who did wrong.

77They will cry, “O Malik!

' Please, let your Lord finish us off.

” He will answer, “You are definitely here to stay.

78We certainly brought you the truth, but most of you hated the truth.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ74

لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ75

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ76

وَنَادَوۡاْ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقۡضِ عَلَيۡنَا رَبُّكَۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ77

لَقَدۡ جِئۡنَٰكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَكُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ78

WARNING TO THE IDOL-WORSHIPPERS

79Or have they made some 'evil' plan?

Then We too are surely planning.

80Or do they think that We do not hear their 'evil' thoughts and secret talks?

Yes 'We do'!

And Our messenger-angels are there with them, recording 'it all'.

81Say, “O Prophet,” “If the Most Kind really had children, I would be the first to worship them.

82Praised is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, far above what they claim.

83So let them be busy, enjoying 'their nonsense' until they face their Day, which they have been threatened with.

أَمۡ أَبۡرَمُوٓاْ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّا مُبۡرِمُونَ79

أَمۡ يَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسۡمَعُ سِرَّهُمۡ وَنَجۡوَىٰهُمۚ بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ80

قُلۡ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَلَدٞ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلۡعَٰبِدِينَ81

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ82

فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ83

ONLY ALLAH DESERVES WORSHIP

84He is the only True God in the heavens and 'the only' True God on earth.

And He is the Wise, with perfect knowledge.

85And Blessed is the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between!

With Him 'alone' is the knowledge of the Hour 'of Judgment'.

And you will 'all' be returned to Him.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٞ وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَٰهٞۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ84

وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ85

CALL TO THE WORSHIPPERS OF FALSE GODS

86Those 'objects of worship' they call besides Him have no power to speak in anyone's defence, except those 'faithful' who confirm the truth and they know.

'

87If you 'O Prophet' ask those 'idol-worshippers' who created them, they will certainly say, “Allah!

” How can they then be distracted 'from the truth'?

88'Allah is also Aware of the Prophet's cry: “O my Lord!

These people will never believe!

89So leave them alone 'for now' and respond with peace.

They will soon see.

وَلَا يَمۡلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ86

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَهُمۡ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ87

وَقِيلِهِۦ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ88

فَٱصۡفَحۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقُلۡ سَلَٰمٞۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ89
